"The first Roxy Music album after the departure of Brian Eno. Stranded, is an excellent record, it still retains that art-rock sound, although, in truth, is doesn't quite have that quirky edge that the first two Roxy LP's did. Still, there sure some superb tracks. Street life, is a brilliant opene..." [+] Reply

"The debut from Jack and Meg is a raw, stripped down, electric guitar and drum, in your face affair that plain kicks ass. And there's 17 tracks of it, none longer than 3:22. So even though the songs mostly have a similar feel to them, the album moves right along and keeps the energy going right th..." [+] Reply

"In many ways, this album is better than "faith". Where "faith" was more immediately-grabbing, "vol.1" is more complex and emotionally/musically layered. His covers (including a b-side elton cover) nail those songs' sentiment. G.Michael attempts to show us there's more than a tight @ss behind his ..." [+] Reply

"A new era for SY. After the grunge Dirty, they turned into post rock, and made this beautiful record. The Diamond Sea is one of the best (and longest) SY song ever." Reply

"This album is proof of Darnielle's lyrical talent. With extremely poor sound quality, simple song structures, a voice that won't appeal to all and a mess of a concept, the album still stands up as completely amazing due almost entirely in part to the lyrics. Personal thought only, but with the in..." [+] Reply

"Anyone who appreciates late 60's psychedelic rock should check out this dangerously trippy masterwork. Hints of The Beach Boys, Donovan, Pink Floyd and The Beatles all filter through the tracks to make a kaleidoscopic sound, probably best heard with a decent pair of headphones on. I'll be seeing ..."

"I discovered this album at the same time as Cure for Pain from Morphine and Worst Case Scenario from dEUS. These records became my soundtrack of that summer. Stuart Staples has an amazing voice, and on their debut they manage to create a perfect melancholic record. The album lasts 77 minutes, as ..." [+] Reply

"I always had trouble with the album falling short of breath quite early on. Until I discovered the actual track sequence Paul Simon had in mind for this (which, when considering the actual sequence on the album as produced is 3-6-4-7-8-1-2-9-5-10). I tried it and only then discovered the masterpi..." [+] Reply
